$20 per person (assuming minimum of 3)one way. Cheaper to rent a car if you have a designated driver.

Be sure to get to Trellis early the balls fill up early on the night of the full moon party!
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

Last week we tried to anchor in Lee bay but the swell was still up so we diverted to Trellis. Full up with boats anchored near the entrance. Full moon party. Now it's getting dark and along comes a car ferry, a people ferry and a heavy rain. Held station then went over to Marina Cay where we anchored with another 15 boats because all of the balls were taken. We'll do it one of these days but after all those adventures we'd both had enough excitement for one day. The earlier you get there the better.

We were at Trellis in 2013 and actually got into Trellis the day before the "Full Moom" party. By 9 a.m. the day of the party all balls were taken. By noon Marina Cay was also full. We loved the food, entertainment that night. During the day we had unlimited entertainment watching late arrivers trying to anchor or cutting it to close to Belamy Cay.

Kimber, we will be there for the full moon party at Trellis on July 1. Hopefully we'll leave Road Town at Noon with a check out captain. I'd like to drop him at Trellis but take a MB at Marina Cay. We'll have 8 in our group. Is there a water taxi to Trellis for the FMP and do you think this will work?

Marina Cay does have a water taxi. It was busy when I was there in December but still worked out very well for us. I can't see a reason why your plan wouldn't work. Have a great time.

I'm concerned that if we don't arrive until say 4PM that all of the mooring balls will be taken and the anchorage crowded.

Well, mid August till end of October tourism is almost nil and most places are closed down

Early December both Trellis and Marina Cay were full by 4pm and we had to anchor West of the mooring field at MC but YMMV.
